I calculate characters of certain representations of loop groups based on non simply connected Lie groups. This gives a generalization of the Kac-Weyl character formula.

We define the notion of characteristic classes for supermanifolds endowed with a homological vector field $Q$. These take values in the cohomology of the Lie derivative operator $L_Q$ acting on arbitrary tensor fields. We formulate a…

The character formula of any finite dimensional irreducible module $L_\lambda$ for Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{osp}(n|2)$ is computed. As a by-product, the decomposition of tensor module $L_\lambda\otimes \mathbb{C}^{n|2}$, where…

We extend to semi-abelian categories the notion of characteristic subobject, which is widely used in group theory and in the theory of Lie algebras. Moreover, we show that many of the classical properties of characteristic subgroups of a…

We introduce the notion of uniform exactness, or uniform amenability at infinity, for discrete groups and prove it for a wide class of groups containing free groups and their limit groups. This shows a novel strong convergence phenomenon…

The theory of differential characters is developed completely from a de Rham - Federer viewpoint. Characters are defined as equivalence classes of special currents, called sparks, which appear naturally in the theory of singular…

Let G be a finite non-abelian simple group and let p be a prime. We classify all pairs (G,p) such that the sum of the complex irreducible character degrees of G is greater than the index of a Sylow p-subgroup of G. Our classification…

We compute conjugacy classes in maximal parabolic subgroups of the general linear group. This computation proceeds by reducing to a ``matrix problem''. Such problems involve finding normal forms for matrices under a specified set of row and…

The Jankov (characteristic) formulas were introduced by V.Jankov fifty tears ago in 1963. Nowadays the Jankov (or frame) formulas are used in virtually every branch of propositional logic: intermediate, modal, fuzzy, relevant, many-valued,…

We prove that for any prime $\ell$, any finite group has as many irreducible complex characters of degree prime to $\ell$ as the normalizers of its Sylow $\ell$-subgroups. This equality was conjectured by John McKay. The conjecture was…

The supercharacter theories of $C_p \times C_2 \times C_2$ were classified in the language of Schur rings by Evdokimov, Kov\'acs, and Ponomarenko in [EKP16]. It was shown that every nontrivial supercharacter theory of $C_p \times C_2 \times…

Character sumrules associated with the realization of the $N=4$ superconformal algebra $\At$ on manifolds corresponding to the group cosets $SU(3)_{\ktp }/U(1)$ are derived and developed as an important tool in obtaining the modular…

For a Lie algebra L over an algebraically closed field of non-zero characteristic, every finite-dimensional L-module can be decomposed into a direct sum of submodules such that all composition factors of a summand have the same character.…

Let $U$ be a Sylow $p$-subgroup of the finite Chevalley group of type $D_4$ over the field of $q$ elements, where $q$ is a power of a prime $p$. We describe a construction of the generic character table of $U$.

We show that some types for supercuspidal representations of tamely ramified $p$-adic groups that appear in Jiu-Kang Yu's work are geometrizable. To do so, we define a function-sheaf dictionary for one-dimensional characters of arbitrary…

We discuss various computational issues around the problem of determining the character values of finite Chevalley groups, in the framework provided by Lusztig's theory of character sheaves. Some of the remaining open questions (concerning…

Recent work has introduced the study of graphical properties of cyclic supercharacters, functions $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}\to \mathbb{C}$ whose values are exponential sums with close connections to Gauss sums and Gaussian periods. Plots of…

A new family of asymmetric matrices of Walsh-Hadamard type is introduced. We study their properties and, in particular, compute their determinants and discuss their eigenvalues. The invertibility of these matrices implies that certain…

We establish a canonical basis character formula for the irreducible modules in arbitrary parabolic BGG-type categories, including the category of finite-dimensional modules, for finite $W$-superalgebras of type $A$. These categories…

A classical theorem on character degrees states that if a finite group has fewer than four character degrees, then the group is solvable. We prove a corresponding result on character values by showing that if a finite group has fewer than…
